Want to play with it?

  conda create -n py1 python=1.0
  source activate py1
  python

Sorry Windows, only on macOS and Linux.

Does this not work with Ubuntu on Windows? I've been using it as my primary development environment and it seems to work perfectly with the mainstream Ubuntu/linux software I deal with. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about

While we fix bugs in our Linux packages so they work on USW/WSL this one appears to have problems (and I do not expect I will look into them any time soon):

  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

.. I did capture the backtrace though; for what it's worth:

  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x00000000004212bb in do_mkvalue ()
  #1  0x00000000004210a7 in do_mktuple ()

  #9  0x000000000042232a in realmain ()
  #10 0x00000000004039f4 in main ()

Update: stack trace indicates it's trying to run a file, you can use -c to run some commands at least:

  python -c "print 'hello world'"

Do a 'bt full'?

There is no symbol table:

What about version 0.91? https://www.python.org/download/releases/early/ and http://www.dalkescientific.com/writings/diary/archive/2009/0... .
